5. Study Description

Brief Summary
The prevalence of chronic insomnia is 13.3% in France in 2019 (8.9 million). The consequences for these people are multiple: drowsiness, memory problems, difficulty concentrating, anxiety. Cognitive and Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is today the reference treatment recommended by the "Haute Autorité de Santé" and the American College of Physicians for chronic insomnia. Today, however, few patients use CBT treatment due to the lack of trained practitioners, the cost of non-reimbursed sessions and the time and involvement that these sessions require. Several clinical trials have shown beneficial effects of hypnotherapy on sleep disorders. The hypothesis of this work is that the use of hypnosis in virtual reality improves sleep time in patients suffering from insomnia disorders.
